Long time no see, guys! Now the academic year has properly started for me, I’m getting into the swing of making summaries comprising lecture notes and information from textbooks and further reading. It’s my day off from any lectures, workshops, tutorials or labs so I’m just reading and keeping it low key
A Level hell has finally begun haha
Physical chemistry wasn’t so bad
Hey! Love your page. I love all your notes and it reminds me of mine! I love to spend each day learning the subjects (chemistry, physics and maths) especially maths and physics because they offer huge new challenges. I’m intrigued to know what your favourite topic in chemistry is though?
Thank you so much! I am a sucker for anything organic - particularly when you’re dealing with aromatic compounds as well as aliphatic and alicyclic ones :)
Thanks for the tag, @a-maze-h :)
Three facts about me:
- My favourite film is Dead Poets Society (and I will ship Neil and Todd until the day I die). There aren’t many films that make me emotional, but with this one I cry every time.
- While I was in primary school, I was adamant that I wanted to be a cryptanalyst when I grew up. I spent my days solving various puzzles and ciphers, and today I can solve a “hard” sudoku in a couple of minutes!
- My maternal grandparents were both Ukrainian and I spent every day of my childhood around them, so I could have been raised truly bilingual. But my family all thought I would get confused with English. So, they instead refused to speak a word in their mother tongue around me. There is therefore a cruel irony in my love of languages - I speak 2 others aside from English proficiently, but not a word of Ukrainian! (Yes I regret this, and will one day rectify it)
I’m tagging @allo-hello-hola @lastnxvember @univers-of-biology @himynameisirina @caffelattestudies @studydiaryofanhistorian - absolutely no pressure!
thank you so much for the tag @sleepy-night-child!
rules: post three random facts about yourself (or your book/ocs) and tag the seven last blogs in your notifications.
1. i’m finishing school this friday! that’s not a particularly interesting fact, just something i’m both excited and terrified about.
2. seventh sunfall is my oldest wip (at least, that i’m still working on). i started it at the start of high school, when i was about 11/12, and it’s still going, even if it’s barely recognisable as the story it was to begin with!
3. the first language i tried to learn was greek, when i was about five (emphasis on tried). it was a complete failure, but i’m still holding out hope that i might pick it back up some day.
i’m tagging (no pressure! feel free to ignore this if you don’t do tag games, or if you just don’t want to) @writing-with-l @lend-your-lungs-to-me @generalblizzarddreamer @magnoliaash @writing-is-a-martial-art @47crayons @wannabeauthorzofija

17 days until my first A Level exam!
Sorry I’m so inactive - I’ve just been getting speaking exams out the way for French and German.
French went amazingly; German not so much - but then my standards are very high so it will likely still get me good enough marks.
But now I can get stuck into my other 3 subjects! Not a fancy set-up this evening; just my favourite notebook and pens and my trademark cup of tea haha
I hope you are all looking after yourself during this stressful period - especially those who are taking exams, whatever level they may be at x
Ok, I’m knackered now. I love chemistry but graphs are so awful to draw by hand because it’s so easy to mess up 😂
That curve of best fit though (looks a bit funny at this angle but it’s a perfect curve irl)👌🏻
carpe diem didn’t turn out too well for neil perry:(
i would love to carpe diem but i also have anxiety
No pictures today - sorry! I’m a bit rushed but I thought I’d update to prove I can finish what I started hehe
I spent an hour reviewing German vocab I learned last year in my last free period of the day, and I also got all my homework completed in time for the weekend. That included biology and chemistry. I got a lot out of my lessons today - I had my first lesson with a teacher I haven’t had since Year 9 (and I’m in Year 13 now!)
(I’m off to Nottingham tomorrow for a uni open day, so I can’t work)
I hope you’ve all had productive days!
ft tea and toasted hot cross buns
Got some motivation to work so I’m going to run with it until the discipline has to take over
Edit: my stupid ass got the date wrong haha
Reblogging because this is some serious talent that needs to be shown to the whole world 😍
